The Stranger simply watched the event unfold. He had not introduced himself due to the appearance of two other fighters that are already in full combat with his first opponent. He smiled as he then crossed his legs and began to levitate of the ground. Waiting until he was introduced and then added to the fight.
/Tristana's ghost medallion vanished. A small pair of white wings appeared floating at her back, and a metal breastplate appeared over her regular armor. She stands up and smiles. "Bout time I got this piece. Bring it on, cupcake!" /Tristana turned slightly to the side to reload her cannon and noticed the mysterious levitating man. "What the..."
/He felt eyes being focused on him. Almost everyone in the arena had stopped fighting and just stared at him silently. He then stopped levitating and decided to stand up and look at his opponents. They had no idea who they were messing with. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Alucard 'El'azar and i will be your opponent. Pleasure to meet you."
"Dude... so, "you'll be our opponent." As in, all of our opponent?" /Tristana looks at Paladin and the brutally injured reptile. Then she looks back to Alucard. "You are so outmatched if that's the case."
/The reptile rose from the ground. It coughed something into it's scaly claw and walked forward. "Yesss.... Outnumbered..."
"You greatly underestimate my abilities. I could take you all on at once if i wanted to, but wheres the fun in that?" Alucard said. He then put both of his fists to gather as lightning surrounded his fists and formed an electrical brass knuckles. Alucard got into stance as a smug smile came across his face. "Dons disappoint me..."
/Paladin noticed Alucard, more importantly the fact that he was a lightning user. He smirked, this could get interesting./ "Don't worry, I won't disappoint you at least." /Paladin charges magical energy into his hand and extends it outwards, another Lightning Cannon shoots out, hurdling straight towards Alucard/
/Alucard watched as the energy became closer and closer. Once it was directly in-front of him, he flicked the wave of lighting away almost effortlessly. The wave was then directed towards his reptile opponent, which then shocked him with the force of a bomb explosion. Alucard watched the explosion from where he stood. "Glad to see that we see eye to eye."
"Man. Explosions are my deal!" /Tristana shot a cannonball straight for Alucard, immediately followed by a circle of them in an area around him, which glowed faintly blue. Her wings sparkled as she finished launching the barrage. "Maybe I should ICE your attitude!"
Alucard looked at the ground as he studied Tristina's shot. As he looked up, he seen the cannonball meters from his face followed by a barrage of several others. He grabbed the cannonball and twisted it axis to that it would aim back at Tristina at phenomenal speeds. Once done, Alucard did a helix jump as he dodged other rapid fire cannonballs coming thowards him. His hands then did grew a light white and blue aura as he then shot a large icicle towards her. "Or maybe you should just CHILL out." he said as he then waited for a follow up attack by her, Paladin or the brutally beaten reptile.
"Bad move choice Lightbulb." /Tristana shot a cannonball, colliding with the one he returned. The resulting explosion melted the icicles before they even neared her. As the smoke cleared, Tristana was gone. She spoke and her voice echoed in the arena, making it undeterminable where it came from. "Let's see how you like this."
/Alucard prepared himself for another attack from Tristana. It seemed like she was her primary target. Alucard then waited until she striked as his lightning brass knuckles began to crackle like the song of a thousand birds. He hasn't physically attacked her yet, but was ready to do so very soon the moment she reappeared. "Just reveal yourself, I know exactly where you are. Why don't you make things much more interesting?"
/An extremely loud shot echoes in the room, and a giant cannonball, easily the size of Tristana, comes from the shadows straight at Alucard. Being confident as he is, he stopped the cannonball with his lone hand, dropping it to the floor with a loud thud. Looking the direction the shot came from, he saw Tristana's cannon, unnatended. He suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen, and looked down. He saw the tip of Tristana's sword poking out of his stomach. She pulled it out, jumped onto his head, and leapt off, sending him down towards the ground, and her spinning off away from him, firing her green gun in his direction rapidly. (sorry for controlling you a bit, but I needed a way to get onto him without you just firing at where she shot from and saying you hit her.)
/As Tristana landed, Paladin took the opportunity to attack, dashing up behind her he plunged one of his forearm blades into her side, sending volts of electricity through her body. Paladin jumped high into the air with her, finally letting her go and watching as she plummeted to the ground. Paladin charged a large ball of lightning magic into his hand, and began to fall towards her. The magic condensed around his fist, and just as she hit the ground, Paladin drove the fist right down on her./ "ODIN WAVE!" /A large explosion shook the arena as the Odin Wave hit her dead on. A large wave of magical energy shot up through the air, causing several smaller yet still very sizable waves shooting out in all directions, one rushing right towards Alucard. Paladin jumped back, leaving Tristana in a sizable crater./
/Tristana coughed up blood and murmured curse words at Paladin as her life faded away. The wings on her armor faded away, and she suddenly sat up with a jolt, fully healed. "What the heck man! We should be going after the big guy before murdering each other!" /She jumped back and landed next to her cannon, and a faint glimmer of the wings returned.
/Alucard jumped over the Odin wave and began to regenerate his attack from Tristana. He has not officially attacked yet, but now he was ready as he landed. "Let's us begin..." /Alucard launched himself with the force of a fighter jet going supersonic as he rushed thowards Tristana. He not only was going supersonic, but knew that Tristana had no idea what he was capable of. Once he got close, he delivered a volly of blows with his electric brass knuckles at a ferocious speed. Hundreds of thousandsof volts poored into her with each hit as Alucard then knee kicked her before doing a flip and finishing off by planting a solid punch that sent her flying. He had managed to do what Tristana and the Paladin did to the reptile in seconds instead of minutes. /He then got into another stance incase the Paladin had any ideas....
/The creature pounced onto Alucard's back, screeching into his ear. He began to claw at Alucard, trying to bring him down to the ground.
/Tristana stood up slowly, her body literally sparking. She shook slightly and picked up her cannon, lifting her hand as a small yellow dagger appeared over her head. She attached it to the gun and aimed at Alucard. The dagger lit up and the sparks of electricity flowed off her and into the dagger. "This attack will deal 5 times the amount of electric damage you just dealt... Hope you have a surge protector... Dip." /She blasted a lone cannonball at Alucard. The attack was easily dodged, but was merely a distraction. Alucard learned this fact a bit too late as she landed on his chest and shoved the dagger into his shoulder, and pushing the lizard off him, causing the electricity to flow through both of them and burn at their internal organs. Tristana fell off him, laughing. "Hope you like being your own lightning rod...." /The metal of the dagger had melted onto his shoulder, and gave off a mild yellow light. Tristana slowly stopped laughing, and a blue light engulfed her and teleported her corpse away. (all ranged electric attacks now target Alucard's shoulder until either he dies , his arm is removed, or the metal is melted off again. I'll be back with another character after I pick one.)
/Paladin watched the attack, and couldn't help but whistle in amazement./ "Impressive. I haven't seen anyone move that fast since...well, that's not important. What's important is that it's just you and me now, Mr. Alucard. Judging from your speed and skill I'd guess that you're ranked a Class A, which makes things bad for the both of us." /Paladin charged, using his own inhuman speed to reach Alucard, a flurry of punches came raining down on him. Some managed to get blocked but a good chunk got through. Paladin's final punch sent Alucard into the wall, he then put his hand on his own wrist, before moving the hand up to his elbow, and began charging his magic energy into his hand./ "Lightning Cannon, Level 2!" /A larger blast of his Lightning Cannon shot out, hitting Alucard and violently exploding, shaking the arena./
(okay, i think I may have mis-typed it, but she pushed the lizard off before the electric shock, saving him, technically. I wasn't very clear.)
